A key problem humanity seems to have, which is exploited by politicians everywhere, is the affinity for black and white thinking.

Capitalism and even neoliberalism are not necessarily categorically terrible. Unregulated versions of these certainly are terrible and unsustainable. And some versions and implementations of ideologies or frameworks are net worse than others.

Absolute austerity, unregulated neoliberalism, unregulated capitalism, unopposed communism, etc, are all terrible, damaging and unsustainable. Unfortunately finding sustainable solutions is difficult and requires thought, time and dedication. And it requires vision and unifying leadership to sell it to the people.

Yes but yesterday’s neoliberal ideas are better than tomorrow’s fascist ideas.

He is Canadian Biden

None of these facts are wrong. Carney is a top-tier capitalist, no question. The thing is, what are the choices? Three of the Liberal candidates are women. Not gonna win nationally. The other two are unknown MPs. Polievre has no vision, just a strategy of division and dog whistles, á la Prez Chump. It’s getting old fast. The NDP is still a fringe party with “visible minority” leader. Not gonna win nationally. There’s a lot to dislike, and if the Liberals select him, they won’t get my vote. But I think he will be the next PM, and might even win the next election. Unfortunately, I think that will depend significantly on what Chump and the Villionaires do in the next six months. And that is ~~volitile~~ ~~capricious~~ ~~unstable~~ unpredictable!

Liberal by name and conservative by nature, or Conservative by name and rageful extremist by nature. Which will it be, Canada? What a political dilemma. If only there were some kind of third option.

So when Poilievre says don’t listen to Carney because these are actually his own policies, is this not also an anti-Conservative piece?

The Breach participating in voter suppression activities for the CPC, I see.
